Malfunction
Comfort Access may not function properly if it
experiences interference from external sources
such as mobile phones, metal objects, overhead
power lines, transmission towers, etc.
In this case, open or close the vehicle using the
buttons on the remote control or use the
integrated key in the door lock.
To subsequently start the engine, hold the re‐
mote control against the marked area on the
steering column, refer to page 31.
Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds to:
Opening of a door, the hood or the tailgate.
Movements in the vehicle.
Changes in the vehicle tilt, e.g., during at‐
tempts to steal a wheel or when towing the
car.
Interruptions in battery voltage.
The alarm system briefly indicates tampering:
By sounding an acoustic alarm.
By switching on the hazard warning system.
By flashing the high beams.
Arming and disarming the alarm
system
General information
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with
the remote control, Comfort Access or at the
door lock the alarm system is armed or disarmed
at the same time.
Door lock and armed alarm system
Unlocking via the door lock will trigger the alarm
on some country-specific versions.
In order to terminate this alarm, unlock vehicle
with the remote control or switch on the ignition,
if necessary, by emergency detection of the re‐
mote control.
Tailgate and armed alarm system
The tailgate can be opened using the remote
control, even if the alarm system is armed.

control for approx. 1 second.
The large tailgate opens slightly.
Press the button on the remote

lease.

result.◀

tored again by the alarm system. The hazard
warning system flashes once.
